Interview the person below you.

[Sweetdeath]

Probably not. I really enjoy being organic. Feeling both pain and pleasure as a human. I can't help but think of Data from star trek TNG. Try as he might, he can't grasp simple human emotion, like laughter.  He's the smartest logical being in the galaxy as an android, but you can see how much it pains him not to experience such simplicity.

I just don't want to age, but I enjoy being in my own skin, thanks.

Q:   Do you blame reality t.v and media for the rise in violence and ignorance in the world?

[ThinkAnarchy]

Q:   Do you blame reality t.v and media for the rise in violence and ignorance in the world?

A. No, t.v. just seems to make the idiots among us more noticeable, it also gives them a forum, along with the internet, to exhibit their idiocy. On a side note, I love when people say, "read a book." As if there aren't books out their with misinformation, poor logic, or even poor grammar. Simply because someone is capable of writing in their native language does not automatically grant them credibility.

As for people who are influenced by shows like "The Hills," I'm fairly certain their is something more deeply wrong with them.

Q. If you could master any skill, what would it be and why?

[Tank]

Q: If everlasting existence could be achieved by implanting your brain into a machine would you volunteer.

A: In an instant! Even if the odds of a 100% successful transfer were only 50/50. If one reads any Alastair Reynolds he deals with this subject a lot and in great depth.


Q: When you were a child did your parents ever do something really memorable, good or bad, that had a profound effect on the way you grew up?

[leedan]

 Tank, We think alike!

A:  Long distance high speed road travel.  Holding in spew is a profoundly usefull skill,  gains you acceptance into some circles, probably a few oblongs too.

Q: Would you have shot any of the below:
Margaret Thatcher, Abe Lincoln, JFK, George W, Three year old Adolf, William The Conq', Liberace, Pope pious the torturer.

[Tank]

Q: Would you have shot any of the below:
Margaret Thatcher, Abe Lincoln, JFK, George W, Three year old Adolf, William The Conq', Liberace, Pope pious the torturer.

A: On reflection, no. I was tempted by Thatcher, but only for a nano-second. We have not had a political assassination in the UK since god knows when. I would think that such an event would have such a profound effect in the UK that any backlash would far, far outweigh any potential benefit, personal or for society as a whole.

Hitler filled a need in the German people. His death would not have stopped that need from forming. If one killed Hitler there would be no way to predict that a more effective leader would not have filled that need and as a result defeated the UK and then Russia one at a time as Hitler should have done.

Q: If you do your own clothes washing what powder and softener do you use and why?

[Willow]

Q: If you do your own clothes washing what powder and softener do you use and why?

A: I use Asda/Walmart non-bio
It's cheap and does the job.  No softner.  If it's clean then it will do.  I do laundry, but it's mostly my husband.

Q: What do you do for fun and why?

[ThinkAnarchy]

My question was skipped. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sadface_rvmp_by_bad_blood.gif" alt=":verysad:" title="very sad" />

As was mine. I'm looking at you Tank!

[ThinkAnarchy]

Q: What do you do for fun and why?

A. Play video games, go out drinking, read, play around on the internet. I used to play online poker before the U.S. government fucked that up and froze my online funds.

Q. Since Tank decided to skip over this I will ask it again...

If you could become a master in one skill, what would it be and why?

[The Magic Pudding]

My question was skipped. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sadface_rvmp_by_bad_blood.gif" alt=":verysad:" title="very sad" />

As was mine. I'm looking at you Tank!

What can you expect?
He's an anarchist.

Tank misses things sometimes.

[Nimzo]

Q. If you could become a master in one skill, what would it be and why?

A. For me, it would be the skill of communication.  I'm particularly fond of the famous Francis Bacon quote, who said "Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man."  I would love to be able to communicate (especially through the written word) with wisdom, quick-wittedness and precision.

Q. How has the time and culture you grew up in (whether it be - to grossly simplify - the secularism of Western Europe, the pluralism of North America, the dominance of Islam in the Middle East, or whatever) most influenced the things you believe and the way you believe them?

[Tank]

Q. How has the time and culture you grew up in (whether it be - to grossly simplify - the secularism of Western Europe, the pluralism of North America, the dominance of Islam in the Middle East, or whatever) most influenced the things you believe and the way you believe them?

A: Colour TV and science programmes. When colour TV came to the Uk there were not many colour TV programmes on the TV. The BBC showed a series called The World About Us. A natural history series designed to exploit and demonstrate the capabilities of colour TV. It aired at 7pm on Sunday evening and it captured my attention and started my interest in all things to do with the natural world and biology in particular.

Q:If asked to visit a place of worship and explain an atheist world view would you go?

[Nimzo]

Q:If asked to visit a place of worship and explain an atheist world view would you go?

A: In most of my conversations with other Christians at church or "home group" (i.e. tea-drinking club  ) I end up explaining non-Christian views of the world.  Just last night I was explaining general definitions of (atheistic) humanism and skepticism.  

Q: What do you think is the most valuable thing in the universe?  (You may take 'value' to be objective or subjective. )
